Saturday 10 April - To celebrate the weekend after my birthday (since I decided to work the day of) Ian and I rented a car and made our way north to Shropshire. Our first stop was the medieval town of Ludlow. It is a lovely market town and there were a number of market stalls open when we arrived. It took a while to find parking but we finally managed and made our way through the potted plants, rugs, cheese mongers and other stalls of the market. Then we had a peak at the castle ruins and then wandered up a few of the meandering streets. The city is a maze of alleys and winding narrow roads. There is a lovely buttercross as well as a typical English church, St. Laurence and a very ornate timber-framed pub named The Feathers for the pattern of Ostrich feathers carved in the timbers (we however, could not make out the infamous feathers). After a quick peak at the bustling town we headed further north to Acton Scott Farm.
